You know what, don't give CD the pleasure to use fan made model for free. They were paid to do the games.
You should work for CD,wait no screw that. CD should hire you as external sourcing to do the model.

If you're good at something, never do it for free.

I would prefer a completely new model that has nothing to do with Crystal's previous models.
There is a slight chance (1/1000) to get it right this time.

I voted other, although scia is extremly tallented, and the renders are awsoooome, epic, I dont want to see TRU Lara again, I didnt like the model, the skin is to pale, the proportions are horrbile, the face is just yuck....Scia's model is much much better, and they should have include something like that in TRU, but I just want a completely new Lara for TRO...

Legends

21-08-09, 11:36

My vote would go to Scia. I voted 'other' as it's the same model as Underworld, just retouched. However, those retouches made the model look completely different. I love the tiny change you've made, longer fringe, which I think give her a much better and sophisticated look. A warmer hair color, a slightly tanned/dirty skin and a colorful outfit. MUCH BETTER than she ever looked before. I love it, she's just gorgeous. It would be perfect with those touches to the nextgen legend model.

What some people seem to be forgetting is that this render looks good because of the lights.

The model is not changed much, other than the sunburn - dirt and the additional normal maps.
However, in my opinion it would be a great opportunity for the fans to create their own Lara Croft in 3D, and it would be a huge achievement if it actually makes it into the game.

I'm not bothered. I was satisfied with every model so far. I liked the TRU model and scias works are beautiful too.
Crystal Dynamics will come up with a fitting model I believe.

Oh and I hope it will be the perfect Lara Croft so I don't have to read all the whining and complaining about her looks. :p

Daventry, I know you're simply trying to be funny, but I find those pictures insulting because basically all they do is mock anyone who didn't have issues with how Lara looked in TRU. They bascially say "if you like this, you're simply too stupid to know what good is."

I could come up with equally amusing captions to make Scia's renders look ridiculous too, you know.

*Edit* Thank you for changing the pictures to one without captions.

I would prefer a younger, less mature looking Lara than those presented.

21-08-09, 12:59

A new model made by CD.
And it's easy to make a render look good. It's harder to make a model look good with several expressions, animations etc. Not saying Scia is making bad renders (they are awesome), but TR:U Lara also looked awesome.
Of course, you took the worst pictures you could find and compared those with Scia's.

**LARA LOVER**

21-08-09, 13:02

I love Scia work! :D CD could learn a thing or two from him! I really hope in TRO that Lara is not as pale as a ghost , they experiment with cuts and burns, and Lara's hair is free flowing...unless there is a braid, witch would be great! :)

stereopathic

21-08-09, 13:20

i can't even imagine the credibility a game developer would lose by using a fan-made model. scia's is excellent and is well-lit but no, CD should create something new that suits the new story.

if they wanted to make scia's an unlockable, that would be a nice gesture.

21-08-09, 13:23

That would be kinda cool, an Unlockable Lara from a Fan. ;)

I would want Scia's model please.
I don't really like a brand new model, I just want the present model to be improved...

I mean, why does Lara have to have a really different look within each game?
Legend, (Looked younger than the Anniversary model)
Anniversary, (Sudden loss of the fringe and older face)
and Underworld (Where she even changed her fringe LOL)
TRU model is already okay, and Scia's render can be the perfect version of the TRU model.

CD, Hire Scia!!! LOL.

Melonie Tomb Raider

21-08-09, 14:11

It would be suicide for them to use the same character model.

They desperately need to revamp the series completely, because CDs TRs just weren't cutting it. They didn't flop, but they definitely weren't the bang TR needs right now.

If TRO turns out to be just like TRL, TRU, and TRA with improved graphics, I think I'll hang myself...

Zebra

21-08-09, 14:19

As good as Scia's renders look...it's just the TRU model with some slight changes (Besides, CD wouldn't use it, anyway). I want a completely new model.

just croft

21-08-09, 14:43

Scia's model is the TRU model, no major change there. Any other day I would I have voted "not bothered, but the minor changes Scia made to the model were enough to show that insisting a little more on what they already had and the game could have been even better.

It's things like these, minor things, that crystal could work a little harder. And one could even say "oh you're so superficial to be anoyed over something like that". Well, I'm not, however many minor underdeveloped parts of the game make up a whole underdeveloped part of the game.

It's people like Scia that show us that makeing things better is not that hard at all. Fans can do it for fun, so why can crystal do it with a little more presistence?

Again, I'm not bothered with the model to the point of not buying the game. But I do think Crystal isn't working to improve small details of the game that when all put together make a big part of the game. So every chance I get to show what needs improvement, as tiny as it is, I'll say it, and rigth now:

Scia > Crystal Dynamics

PS: The colours used by Scia look a hell of alot better, I'm not one to hold onto the original outfit as if my life depends on it, but it looks much better than TRU's. Even the backpack and hair for that matter.

ajrich17901

21-08-09, 14:47

I'm not bothered. Whatever runs, climbs and shoots suits.

Im more worried about the game then laras model, Im sure she'll look good either way.

21-08-09, 14:55

I just want her to look believable. No more Barbie Raider and I'll be happy.

Rai

21-08-09, 15:12

As gorgous as Scia's renders are, they are till the TRU model only updated a little to look more realsitic and with a 'classic' aura.

I don't think the TRU model (updated or not) is appropriate for TRO. Lara is supposed to be younger, so I think she should look more like the TRA model. They could take her and give her a Scia like makeover to make her more realistic and the warmer hair tones. She'd look fantastic. :D

21-08-09, 15:15

Why do we even bother about these models??

Uh I don't understand you. Are you saying you don't want Lara in the game anymore? How can Tomb Raider have no avatar? Or perhaps you're confusing the question with the models used to promote the games, like Alison? Because we're discussing the in-game Lara model.

SamReeves

21-08-09, 15:58

New model, much more juggy, and one that loses her clothes more often! ;)

I voted OTHER, because I want CD to take Scia's ideas and use them, but add their own flare to make is a younger Lara (if they decide to go in that lame direction) But IF THEY DONT DO AN ORIGINS GAME, I want Scia's model ALL THE WAY!

21-08-09, 17:26

I want Lara to look like a new version of the classics. Not how she did in Anniversary or Legend. She was not that bad in Underworld, but that was too similar to Anni/Legend. So I would like a new classic Lara. Something similar to AOD/Last Revelations. I like the concepts that CD have drawn up. They have a classic feel for me. :)

Isn't Scia's model just a modified TRU model?

Don't get me wrong, I love her work.

Anywho, I voted that I don't care what the new model looks like. I actually even prefer the in-game Lara model from the classics/AoD better than any of the models that CD has done.

21-08-09, 17:39

Since it's an origins reboot, I want a new model. However, I want her to look the same from then on. I hate that she looks drastically different in every CD title. It's ridiculous. Make a Lara and stick with her look. End of discussion.

By the way, Scia's model is beautiful. :tmb

she doesn't need to be a big breasted women wearing her classic outfit with a braid, this is a young lara, and she is wayyy more recognizable and more beautifull then the old young lara:)

21-08-09, 20:10

Whoa! Wow! Thank you guys so much!

That said, I feel like I need to remind everyone that my renders do use the Underworld model. I just edit her textures, pose her in XNA, and then export her to 3ds Max for rendering. Comparing me to Crystal Dynamics, while flattering, is a bit much when I'm using their model :)

For future reference in this thread, the following images show the actual differences between my altered textures and Crystal's Lara.

This kind of shading and lighting is simply not possible in Real-Time, however, if you're asking that Crystal take inspiration from the renders, such as Lara's expressed personality, tanned skin, sunburns, small cuts, cloth simulated ponytail, and classic color scheme, then have at it - I feel the same way. :D

That's why I personally voted Other. I would love to see Crystal Dynamics create a Lara that is colorful and unique, while staying true to the series.

I voted other, though, because I don't even know what the next Lara model would look like from CD. Of course, if Scia's Lara was more Lara-looking than CD's, then I would prefer that. And vise versa.

And I don't like how CD always makes the default outfits so dark, and "with-the-environment", if you know what I mean. I would love how the next outfit could be like the original classic one, it makes Lara stand out.

Reggie

21-08-09, 23:58

Even though I'm not one to focus on Lara's looks, I really do admire Scia's fanworks and if Crystal were going to follow anyone's example, I would recommend Scia's. :tmb:

Obviously you have not played TombRaider Anniversary, Most of the outfits had braids..
TombRaider Legend had a braid in the flashback and you can select this outfit in replay mode..
TombRaider Underworld is the only Crystal Dynamics game where Ms. Croft does not have a braid. However the doppelgänger does in the DLC versions and in the main game, so that makes it a bit legit.

Who is hannah montana?

Where's the "enough about her looks, try making a damn good game instead" option??? :whi:

Maybe lara NEEDS to die, so they truly can reinvent TR and we can move on from all this shallow trivial nonsense. Yea, lara has boobs, she's had em for what? 13 years? get over it people. I don't care how real they are or aren't. If I want to play with boobs I find REAL women to play with. ;) Her being on screen was just a way to follow along with what moves we just performed. They could put it all in first person and we'll never see what lara looks like. Yup, they still show her in cutscenes, something else they need to cut way back on. Stop over explaining the damn story and leave some mystery so we can be egged on to find out what's going on instead of holding our hand.

People complain about CD turning Lara into a barbie, but honestly what I see is the fanbase itself talking about Tomb Raider as if it was a Barbie make-up show: boobs, braids, I mean... it's simply ridiculous... TR's fanbase is not what it used to be anymore.

scremanie

22-08-09, 08:59

But thats all Lara was.. boobs and a braid. Now she is Ponytail, short tops, makeup, skanky walk, mascara.

I for one do not find any of those things on Lara... well, in Underworld.. but Anni/Legend :whi:

Nor do I find them offensive. I just think they need to simplify her again. Go back to boobs and braid. Instead of all this outfit changing nonsense and complicated hairdo's. I always just loved Lara in her blue singlet and Khaki shorts with long brown braid. It was simple, yet they were so iconic for her.

So Lara's caracter was based on a braid? Honestly, I never even noticed her braid in the classics, it was simply irrelevant and I can surely affirm most part of people didn't ****ing care about that. Boobs were, yes, a part of her look, so why are people complainning for them being big?

Lara's personna was never based on boobs or braid. Ask for a more BAD ASS Lara, yes, that was completely changed throught the years with so much pseudo drama... I don't understand how a TR fan can say that Lara was about a hairstyle honestly...

It was over because of her missing braid... (LOL)

I also love the fact you mention "now she is Ponytail, short tops, makeup, skanky walk, mascara", as OMG Cyrstal turned her into a Barbie!, when you own said that Lara was "basically around her braid" since the classics. Honestly, CD surely didn't turn Lara into a Barbie before you did buddy...

you're right scremanie - when i think classics i think long flowing braid Lara and saracstic attitude. Thats my memories of Lara at that time.

I actually (dare I say) like the LONG ponytail she has in legend and underworld, but I would like a braid, i've always been envious of it.

If she has short hair i'll be a bit ****ed off :ton:
To me thats not Lara.

The talk of killing off Lara = bull****, sorry but that would really send tomb raider downhill :o

awwe. Thanks Hayley :hug:

I do actually like the ponytail too :), its nice and modern. But I wish for it to be longer.. much loner!

I was just trying to say that when I think of Lara Croft, I see this.

i voted for "I prefer a new Lara Model from Crystal Dynamics", because i think the in game models evolved with every new game.
although i really love Scia's renders, they are not in game screen shots, but maya renders.

if it comes to wallpaper renders, the fan made material becomes far more superior than the wallpapers CD provided along with the game launch.
just look at the wonderful compositions from nicobass.

Well, Legend. I would say... hmm... Her guns are pretty cool in next gen :), they is all shiny! :D

Anniversary... hmm... she has a braid back, oh and the Peru level was pretty awesome.

Underworld.. EVERYTHING!! :cln: :D

22-08-09, 10:42

I voted on the first because TRU Lara is one of my favorite ingame models so far and she's done an amazing job rendering her. But I also do like the new concept from Crystal. Something in between those would be fine I guess.

Though in the end it doesn't really matter how good she looks or how big her boobs are if the gameplay is crap.

i thought you'd love underworld, i really did get an essence of the core games in it, the isolation, the scaryness, her bad-ass attitude.

yeah anniversary was good, did you like the scary background music, in egypt it sounded like mummies awakening, that freaked me :)

yeah legend guns were cool :)

i love the new lara, i think graphically shes very impressive :ton:
They're good for me to play on a regular basis, challenging, but to the right extent, sometimes the classics got a bit tedious and difficult.

Both company-based games had fantastic locations - beautiful yet scary.
Classic lara was so bad-ass and amazing but sometimes what she said was just plain rudeness and they were right, she was becoming too sex-based :o Doesnt mean I dont love her though, because i do.

Underworld Lara has the right-amount of badass i think, for me.

The classic levels were very detailed, perhaps more so than cd's, i liked how the decorations had been placed, making you feel like it had been lived in and had been abandoned due to the inhabit's death. Making it feel like a real tomb :ton:

I think that TRY lara looked pretty remarkable. The body was a huge steo in the right direction and the face is EXACTLY an updated version of classic lara! and this is what I have always wanted. They could try to make the body a bit more proportional. the legs are laughably long, and they dragged the arms too beacuse of them, and this makes lara look too thin. She also needs more detailed textures and I want her to be recognizable again! Yep this is the Lara I want

22-08-09, 19:50

Some people may think i'm crazy but i loved the model of Legend Lara, i think she looked great and her look should be adapted from that.

NCHSDK

22-08-09, 20:21

Well, I loved Legend's model, and I think Underworld's could be great if they make a few touch ups to it, like Scia's render.... the coloring is especially pretty, as are the dirt, scrapes, and attitude:

http://i31.************/34sf4fn.jpg

Did I mention I love the coloring? And the attitude? :P
Also, I like the way Scia allowed Lara's hair to be free-flowing:

Scias work is awesome but it's just a rendered mid. What I really want is new face for lara not an old model with a face slapped across it.

Scia's work is a good candidate.

_Awestruck_

22-08-09, 23:05

My vote goes to Scia. CD should hire him as the lead designer of Lara's model because unlike the ones they already have, he makes Lara realistic looking.

Fallen.Angel

22-08-09, 23:15

I LOVE Scia's model, but I'd be curious to see what else CD could come up with, something more realistic than the Underworld model, hopefully.

I think scia's model only lara abit less muscley, and thinnner. Maybe different hair too. :) seeing as though she is younger

Mytly

23-08-09, 15:11

I prefer a new Lara Model from Crystal Dynamics.

While Scia's renders are very lovely indeed, they are ultimately based on the TRU model, which I don't particularly like. The future Lara badly needs to be more realistic, in order to fit into her realistic surroundings. In TRU, Lara looked like a cartoon character running around in the real world. :rolleyes:

LisaNicole

23-08-09, 20:28

Scia's models are fantastic, just what Lara needs to look like. Tanned and vibrant, but still classy. CD should use these models!

A braid and the classic outfit would suit her better, since that's more what Lara is about - practicality. Running around with a ponytail would just end up getting hair in your face!

Trfansince1996

23-08-09, 21:25

Scia wins. His pictures makes Lara look great and realistic.

23-08-09, 21:28

I chose other. I'd love it if they would take a much more realistic approach to making Lara and all the other characters and the environment. I'm sick of all the unnecessary exagerations. :)

Librarian

24-08-09, 03:11

As absolutely stunning as Scia's models are, I'm really not fussed regarding Lara's model, provided she doesn't look as cartoony as she does at the moment. Just as long as she runs, shoots and climbs, I'll be happy :)

i want her features to be sharper, gritty, untamed and wild looking.

I liked Underworld's Lara just fine! maybe if they can make her a bit more realistic. I like these models the fan made but It is still Underworld. I'd love it if she looked like that!

But the most important thing is the game.

I don't like the Underworld model. Scia makes her look much better, but her face and body are just so goofy looking. She looks like a silly cartoon. I'd personally prefer something more gritty and cool as opposed to the cosplaying Barbie doll look of TRU Lara.

if someone here works with 3d and can actually show stuff then the option will be meaningful

I agree, all Scia has done is replaced Lara's textures with higher quality ones and re-rendered the model. Otherwise, the face shape etc is exactly the same. Just goes to show that CD really were not that far off providing us with the Lara we're all waiting for (at least in terms of looks) and with a little more work and updated textures we may finally get what we want for the next game? Fingers crossed! :confused:

Here are too exemples of lara model done in zbrush, that is a awesome tool for modeling many game designers are changing to it now, allows them to give more detail with less work shaping polygons.

first one is exelent except for the ugly face

http://www.tombraiderforums.com/showthread.php?t=157480&page=16
lower the polys and this could be ingame.

this other is more in line with prince of persia cell shading and more creative http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?t=74160
